Geolocation Changed Country Action

The Geolocation Changed Country Action allows an administrator to take additional measures when the user attempts to login from some other country than they were during their *last* login. For instance, imagine that a user is located in Sweden and they login using an authenticator that has this action configured. If that is the country that they always login from, then the action should not get triggered. On the contrary, if the user tries to authenticate from an IP address in Japan, then the action should get triggered, since this is different that their *last* known country to login from.
